Last day in this particular paradise: de frost freezer; scrub kitchen; pack my wee Baltic bag; print out boarding passes x 3; lobster lunch at Hook, Line and Sinker in lovely Frenchtown; luxury pedicure ...last pina colada sundowner...charge iPhones and Kindles...
Tomorrow I am for St Cyril King Airport in St Thomas thence to John F Kennedy Airport in New York thence to London Gatwick. (THOUGHT: If Gatwick were in the States, would we call it Blairwick? Magwick? Pittwick?) Home to Carly’s tea time Sunday May 6.
Brian is fast ferry to Roadtown, Tortola, BVI; slow cab to Beef Island Airport; small plane to St John Airport, Antigua; bumpy cab to Nelson’s Dockyard, Falmouth; fast (?) Xyacht45 Boxcar to the Azores. Home - ? sometime end of the month. Depends which way the wind blows - ie. typically on the nose. For 2500 miles.
Think I picked the winner this time...
PS Brag will be in the hands of kind and expensive strangers as she is loaded on to A Big Ship for her transatlantic crossing. But they’ve promised to kiss and pat her every single day at no extra cost...till we meet again. Xxx
